INDIANAPOLIS – Drury volleyball senior Ella Rademaker has been selected as a First-Team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference honoree, the league office announced Thursday evening.

Rademaker becomes the first Panther to earn first-team honors from the GLVC since Taylor Forth in 2021. The Olathe, Kan., product earned her second consecutive postseason All-GLVC honor after picking up second-team recognition a year ago while competing for fellow conference member Southwest Baptist.

This season, Rademaker leads the Panthers with 391 kills entering the GLVC Volleyball Championship, which is the top single-season total for a Drury player since 2018, when Bentley Mara (439) and Emmalee Chrest (426) both topped the 400-kill plateau.

Rademaker has totaled 1,438 kills over 115 career matches, which puts her at No. 5 among all active NCAA Division II players and No. 1 on the GLVC's active list.

LOOKING AHEAD
Drury makes its return to postseason play this weekend at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Volleyball Championship in Williamsville, Ill. The No. 7 Panthers will open the postseason with a quarterfinal matchup against second-seeded Rockhurst Friday (Nov. 21) evening at 5:30 p.m. inside Williamsville High School Fieldhouse.
